Heritage
Château Tanunda, Icon of the Barossa was established in 1890 and is the site of some of Valley’s earliest vines as well as its first winery. The Château is privately owned by the Geber family who continue a tradition of fine winemaking spanning three generations.
Vineyard
For our Grand Barossa Shiraz we select grapes grown throughout the Barossa and its myriad sub–regions. It is this tapestry of “terroirs” which enables us to create our classic and refined style
Winemaking
By combining traditional and modern winemaking techniques, we make handcrafted wines of complexity, depth and intensity.
Fermentation takes place in our Basket Press winery and each parcel spends a further seven days on skins to further extract flavour, tannin, and colour. After gentle pressing the wine is matured for 18 months in French & American oak barrels.
Tasting note
Lifted aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper are accompanied by spicy, dark berry fruits on the palate. Although drinking well now this wine may be cellared for up to ten years from vintage.

Winemaking
By combining both traditional and modern winemaking techniques we are able to make handcrafted wines of complexity, depth and intensity.
